DIY Washi Tape

Its recipe week at Less is More and this week's challenge is...
For our recipe this week we want you to use or make

WASHI TAPE

You can use the shop bought type or you can make your own one way or another. We know you will be inventive if you don't have any in your stash...

I must admit I've never quite got washi tape - I mean it's just patterned sellotape isn't it! So when I saw this challenge I knew I'd have to make some of the stuff - there's many a website shows you how to do this. I used a mixture of patterned paper napkins and transparent paper with double-sided tape to make mine...


I could get addicted to this! I just love the way you can overlap yet still see through to the pattern below. There's some gorgeous paper napkins out there just waiting to be used in this way.

Thanks for visiting

Sharon
